- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Asail. Drumasail is Tory hill. Sid-Asail is Sheenfinoge on Grangehill, which seems an ancient burial place. It means the "Shee or fort of the Royston Crows". So called from a local princess, who claimed descent from Macha who, with her two sisters, goddesses, embodied themselves as such birds as eerie demons, who screamed terribly during a battle of fighting armies. Aenagh-Asail or Aonagh-beag, situated on the North bank of the Commogue, opposite Manister Abbey, was one of the four great assembly places in the County Limerick, and as such a burial place. It is an earthen two-ring fort, in the form of the figure eight, around which the sports were held. Sidh-Magh-Asail - the fort or Shee of the plain of Asail" - is probably Killonahan Caher. It was likely to this caher that Fergus Mac Roig was brought after being wounded in defence of his friend, Asail, at the ford of the Commogue, by the Spanish host from Spain. It is a king's fort.Some years ago, Mr. Riordan found a canon ball in its wall, which is still in his possession. I am of the opinion that the old road, which goes from the main Crorom-Limerick road at Quin's cross to the townland of Ballyluskey, was the main route for the armies of Elizabeth, Cromwell and William to Limerick and North Munster.
